It's almost Friday Looks like we are finally going to warm up a bit here next week - mid 40s! I am going to get back to walking on my lunch break, I miss it, it keeps me sane.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I have no idea what to expect - the scale has been fluctuating like crazy this week which never happens to this extreme - one day up 4, next down 5, next down 2. I don't know what's going on....

It was a good day. I ate everything on track as planned all day... but more importantly I got out of bed, braved the dark and the cold, and made it to the gym. It took multiple alarms starting at 4:30am and a phone call from a friend up going to her gym too (while she laughed at me while I whined) but I got up and went. I'm proud of my day.

Anyone know anywhere in the US where it's kind of sunny and warm? Does that exist this winter at all? I'm considering taking the BF and vacating the northeast for a weekend to a warmer destination so I don't strangle him for whining about the dark and cold?

Sunnyhikes - I'm in Jersey and it is NOT warm. Getting better and the snow is melting but not a place to visit to defrost.

I have an appointment with the nutritionist today. I haven't been eating on plan (or working out). I have been eating better but still too many treats and sweets. I lost weight since I went to her back at the beginning of January. I know I emotionally eat and thats what I'm trying to get over. I hope it goes well

My bf video recorded me about three weeks ago and I'm walking around with my belly hanging out telling him that he drive me crazy. I hate looking at myself like that. He did take another one last night (mind you he does it with out my knowledge) and you can see a difference. I just want to see a BIGGER one. It got me depressed and questioning why he wants to be with me. It made me feel really unsexy and grossed out. Obviously he loves me the way I am, I guess the problem is I don't love myself the way I am. I also don't feel as big as the pictures and videos of me look. I saw "Just Go With It" on Friday with my girlfriends. There is a scene with Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman belly dancing and their bodies are awesome. Why can't I be rich famous thin and beautiful ?

Happy Valentines Day to all you wonderful ladies. I am sending my love to all you today cause we deserve it.

Totally warm here in Chicago this weekend...and by warm, I mean upper 30's, lower 40's. Was even able to run outside yesterday. I don't know if it's because I am finally back on track for the new year this past week or the weather, but getting the feeling like Spring is right around the corner is a great way to lift the sprits and stay motivated! I'm sure it will snow next week now that I said this but I don't care! Happy Monday to all and hope you had a great weekend!

Arg. Been gone for three days. Haven't really gone off plan, but haven't really stayed on it. Haven't exercised, or anything. Been kind of an apathic few days and good ole TOM might be the reason. But really no excuses. I just need to get up off my hindend and get back to work. Hope you guys are doing well!

[SunnyDC]

u can do it cosmicgal i'm back on the bandwagon with renewed energy! it's so not easy, but u can do it.

[SunnyDC]

thank you spinach! we're both 5'3 and we have close starting points and goals weights. let's do it!

I can't believe that it is already WEDNESDAY. Happy Hump Day!

With that being said, my resolution I made Monday to exercise and eat right hasn't gone as planned. My eating is on a better track. I still haven't been able to motivate myself to get off the couch and do some activity.

I'm thinking of going back to the 4-day diet and adding a fast the last weekend of Feb. I ordered this drink from P90X to do a 2-day fast. I haven't been able to do anything like that before. I don't have the will power.

We are close! I actually think 130-135 is a more realistic goal for me, but I thought I'd shoot for the stars. And I am so ready to be back into the swing after a long rest in maintenance... feels good to be back in plan and working towards goal.

Congrats sunny that is awesome news!!!

Im fighting to get deep into the two teens I wi at 220.0 today with 218.8 being my low weight.

Hello everyone hope all is well!

truthfully i think i would be fine anywhere in the 130's too, but 129 just sounds better because it has a 20 in it so that's why i picked it. that 1 lb will inevitably be the hardest to lose. lol

I have a 4 day weekend coming up, so excited! Tonight is my pilates class and my sister and I are going to a concert - Jimmy Eat World. I thought I would take Friday off since I will probably stay up way too late and drink too much.

This week was rough but managed to maintain. The high today is suppose to be almost 70 so I am definitely walking on my lunch break. I miss walking, it keeps me sane at work. I am finally testing out my Sketcher shape ups that I got off Amazon (for $50!) at the end of December. I have heard good and bad things about them so I am interested to see how they feel. Anyone else have a pair?

This plateau is starting to get to me. I know it is from lack of tracking my WW points and too much wine. I guess I should just be happy I am not gaining.

Since I finally got back on track last Monday, I have already lost 4 pounds. So even though I have 10+ pounds to go, still happy that the scale is moving in the right direction and I can be in the 140's soon.
